Shale? There’s an app for that

Bracewell & Giuliani LLP announced just launched the ShalePlay app - a response to booming shale oil and gas production.

The firm’s energy law and environmental law attorneys and government relations professionals put together the free app as a resource on shale and hydraulic fracturing news, information and trends.

The ShalePlay app includes information on legislation, regulation, shale studies, an interactive map of shale plays, a glossary of common terms, a historical timeline of hydraulic fracturing and analysis from the firm’s attorneys.

The app requires iOS 6.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It’s optimized for iPhone 5.

Android users have to wait - the Android version will be available sometime in the first half of the year.

“We created this app to offer our clients, and others in the industry, the latest news and information on oil and gas production in shale plays, providing a one-stop-shop for shale related content,” said Paul Grabowski, chief marketing officer, in a press release.
